Reno, I'm Coming Home - Roy

Reno, I’m coming home, I swear I’ll be back soon

Left Salt Lake at midnight, home by noon

Pass out on the bench seat and sleep for half the drive

Pray we get home safe and endure the ride

Alcohol, sleep withdrawal, a diet of fast food

Reno' I’m coming home.

I’ll see you soon

Father asks, «is it worth it?

You’re broke and in debt too.»

Mother asks, «are you homesick, lonesome and blue?»

«Your twenties will soon be over and you haven’t paid your dues

Your classmates already got some years on you»

Long hard days with shitty pay ain’t enough to get you through

Father, please be proud of what I do

Reno, I’m coming home for another week or two

Then it’s back out on the road away from you

I miss you when I’m gone but I’m restless when I’m here

Just one last time and we’re done for the year

Empty halls with sparse applause yields another bad review

Reno, I’m coming home, I’ll see you soon
